Does the CVT belt housing stay pretty dry? Does it have push button 4wd?

ive had water clear over the air intake and not got the cvt wet..and yes it has push button 4wheel..as well as the only dif locker of its kind..a little yellow lever that can engage the dif lock a little or pull it all the way for alot..its incredibly handy..

Supposedly even a 650 Prairie has more ***** than a Grizzly, so think about a 700 Prairie against one.

Metallikev~
Im no expert and still learning, Im thinking The Kawasaki Tech knows what he talking about? but he did hook up my kill switch wrong?~LOL Like I said the quad is running good there is seat of the paints power and cant wait to dyno it in the next few months. I would recommend The HMF Penland Pipe not only for the performance gains but Ive talked to Mike a few times, anybody can call him up for advice and I think he knows the Prairie? He seems like a really good guy and was very helpful! Plus the exhaust does have that cool little logo of him on the side with his Signature Hat and Muctache!~LOL~ Oh its also built by HMF! they have very good customer service and an unbeatable two year warranty!

I like the Prairie over the Grizzly Because to me The Prairie seems more like a Sport Quad then any of the other Utilities. I owned a Rincon and have ridden the grizzly a few times. I ride with a Few guys that own Grizzly and I wouldn't think twice about buying one, I think its a fine Quad as well and there where a few tricked out ones I got to race and they where nice! I just like the V-twin and think the Prairie is better suited for my riding style. You gotta try to ride both and see what you like? ether way I think you cant go wrong.

Well,like ive stated before I think mine was meant to be a dealer demo unit and therefore it was slightly tuned before leaving the factory..I swear that the bike was faster than the others that Ive tried out with nothing doen to it...maybe im just imagining it but others would agree with me who've rode mine...that snorkle really woke it up..[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
